... clause in the CBA allows teams to release players prior to March 15th and only be liable for 16% of the salary they were given in arbitration"? I didn't. Thanks to USS Mariner for the pointer. Tango asks How much is Troy Tulowitzki worth in a trade? BP and BA on Quentin-Carter. BTW, here's BA Cabrera-Garland. And BP's Nate Silver and David Laurila and BTB on Cabrera to Detroit.

... front with Kelly Dwyer’s foray into NBA blogging. I’m a bit too close to it for an objective recommendation, but I hope you’ll enjoy it nonetheless. Detroit trades for Miggy, D-Train and short-term success. The first mega-deal of the week gives the Tigers a top lineup and provides The Dugout with fresh material. Stephen A.

... , and Stephen A. Smith , we can now see with this data that their opinions are not widely held in the journalism industry. However, we can also see with the data potential reasons why they spew such vitriol at bloggers: job security. Costas, Conlin, and Smith are all probably wealthy enough to withstand losing their jobs due to their employers going out of business, but they all probably have a passion for their jobs as well, and that’s what they fear losing primarily. That’s just some amateur psychoanalysis, though with a lot of assumptions. Overall, the data is interesting ...
